Reading invisible items

Hello,
I am new to the game and this list, though I have played NetHack before. I have some feedback regarding invisible scrolls. I was able to read an invisible scroll without having the see invisible ability. Is this a bug or by design? I think it would make sense to require this ability in order to read invisible scolls and spellbooks.

Scrolls in Slash'EM are magical objects. You can invoke them as long as you know the formula regardless of whether you are blind or the scroll is invisible. Invisible scrolls may make it somewhat harder to find what the formula is. Bug 921810 has some discussion on this: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=921810&group_id=9746&atid=109746 Cheers, Ali. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?

That makes sense, though it is not obvious to the player, mainly because the "read" verb is used, and monsters are also described as "reading" scrolls. Thanks for the clarification.

Thanks for the clarification. Yes, it's a bit odd. Certainly, reading is involved (it affects literacy) but it's also interesting to note that you can read scrolls even if you don't have a mouth (or indeed a head) so clearly it's not necessary to read the formula out load (though as you point out, you can hear monsters reading scrolls, so it must be the norm to do so if you can). I guess it must involve picturing the formula on the scroll in your mind's eye (if you can't see it) and reading it, sub-vocally if necessary. Or something like that!
